You can hit control H, in the first field type two spaces, in the second
field type one space and tab until you hear replace all and hit enter. This
is only for word documents. If it is a word document you can select the
entire document and hit control L so that the entire document is left
justified. hth, Judith

I am not sure what justified the text means, but I am pretty sure the
author did hit his space bar twice between certain words as I just did
now. I called FS and they did not have any ideas. One techie said I
should run repair, and another offered some maybe help, but the solutions
they were offering went against my own computer related Hippocratic oath
of first do no harm lol
Maybe I will just have to live with jaws saying two spaces every time any
text file has two spaces instead of one.

Thanks,
Tom

Are you sure the two spaces are not because an author has justified the
text?

Hi Judith,
JAWS is reading the screen correctly and while I do value the two
spaces announcement between sentences and after the period of a
sentence, occasionally I read a document where the author uses two
spaces between words frequently and it drives me nuts. I am
wondering if the two spaces can be toggled or turned off.
Thanks,
Tom
